We stayed in these rooms on a recent trip - 2 couples. The location is excellent - right beside the two towers in the heart of the old part of Bologna. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. They are a few flights up but there is a lift so no problem. The owner and her staff were very, very... More

The Garisenda was great! The staff was very friendly and it was in a great location for shopping and seeing the sights of Bologna. The food markets are a must see in this city. And some of the best food in our trip to Italy was had in Bologna! The cost of the room was low and the staff spoke... More

We stayed here for 3 nights. Excellent location to walk to most places. Room is perfectly adequate. Sparse but had everything you needed. Very clean. We were the only Americans which was nice. The owners English was good enough to communicate what was needed. Japanese, French, Spanish and Italians made up the guest list. The family lives in rooms off... More

You need to take a bus from the station to the centre of Bologna. Good signage and an old fashioned lift ensure that one arrives at Garisenda. The hostess and owner, Laura, was most welcoming. The room was spotless and spacious although without a view. The basin in the room is most practical. The room had a TV so I... More

The location was both good and bad - it is as central as it gets, but because of this very noisy. There is a McDonalds right outside the door, not exactly what you want while on vacation! Rooms were very spacious and clean. Two large restrooms shared on the floor - both very clean.

We stayed here for three nights and thought it was excellent value. Our room was large, airy, and charming; facing the courtyard, it was completely silent at night, even with the terrace door open. The 24-hour desk service was unfailingly friendly and helpful. The ceiling fan was totally adequate for keeping the room cool in July. We've recommended the hotel... More

Recently, my fiance and I went to Bologna and we stayed at the Garisenda for its amazing location right in the heart of Bologna. We stayed in a double bedroom using a shared bathroom. The room was really spacious and very comfortable, and as it contained a wash basin and mirror, we only needed the shared bathroom for showers and... More

This hotel is great! I love simple hotels that are clean, in the center of the city and cheap! Its a few steps from the towers, in an apartment building. Right next to the albergo there is a McDonalds and a cyber cafe; across the street they have a great little pizza place that is delicious and super cheap! My... More

Best locationi n Bologna. Nice hotel, the lady who runs the hotel is a little grumpy though, in contrast to her husband who is much more friendly. Id recommend this hotel but as we booked late we got what seems to be the last choice room, at the back of the hotel with the boiler in it, room 105. However... More
